• Design and work with data structures, analytics modeling, and parsing complex healthcare datasets to surface actionable insights.
• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical decision-making to ensure a clean, stable, and maintainable codebase.
• Opportunity to own problems end-to-end and wear multiple hats—whether that's working directly with customers, shaping product roadmaps, or iterating on UX design.
• Work in a hybrid environment in NYC, collaborating closely with the team in person.
